Story
Hi, I’m Skippy! I’m a 12 year old senior Jack Russell Terrier mix, weighing just 12 pounds but carrying a lifetime of charm. With age comes wisdom, and I’ve already mastered the basics—so now I get to skip straight to the fun. Toys, car rides, and snuggles are my specialties, and I bring plenty of enthusiasm to each. I may be small, but I’m clever, curious, and full of personality. Most of all, I’m a true peopledog, happiest when I’m right by your side.
Favorite Things: Skippy is absolutely toyobsessed. He doesn’t just play with them—he invents his own games, hiding toys under blankets and then triumphantly finding them again. He delights in car rides, cozy dog beds, and light blankets that double as props for his playful antics.
Training and Manners: Skippy is house trained as long as he’s let out regularly. He walks nicely on a leash, though his excitement can lead to a few barks at other dogs—even on TV. His activity level is just right: playful when it’s time for fun, but content to relax, at night he snoozes peacefully in his dog bed.
Health and Care: Skippy is a healthy boy! He is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations and neutered. While he doesn’t require professional grooming, regular baths and nail trims will keep him looking and feeling his best. Like any dog, he’ll need monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Skippy is a bit hard of hearing, a common trait for his age which only adds to his charm.
Other Animals: Skippy is happiest as the one and only pet in the household, where he can soak up all the love and attention. He hasn’t been tested with cats, so a petfree home is the best match for him. Skippy is ready to shine as the star companion in a family all his own.
Children: This cutie is a social butterfly who adores children of all ages. His affectionate and playful personality makes him a wonderful family dog.
Ideal Home: Whether it’s an apartment, condo, or house, Skippy thrives where someone is around more often than not. When left alone, he prefers to settle in a secure area of the house, though he’d much rather be with his people. His preference for company is simply a reflection of how much he enjoys being part of the action and sharing life sidebyside.
Overall: Skippy is the definition of a peoplelover. He wants to be the center of attention and will happily entertain with his toy games and clever antics. He’s smart, communicative, endlessly affectionate and ready to fill your home with joy, laughter, and love.
